Calcutta was a poor city in a poor nation, with vast slums, so it needed every person of good will who could help to alleviate suffering. One of these was Mother Teresa, even if her work and achievements have been greatly exaggerated by the Catholic Church. Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity which, in fairness to others working with the poor of Calcutta but with less publicity, was one of the smaller charities in Calcutta.
